Ramadan fasting times vary across the world, but with Ramadan being in July this year, there are some extreme times on both ends-- some have extremely short fasts and others have extremely long fasting times. This Ramadan, many in the United States are finding some of the longest fasting times they've had to face in their lives.

In North America, fasts during June and July are particularly challenging, as the continent experiences longer days and shorter nights. So for those starting their fasts at sunrise and breaking their fast at sunset, it can be a long wait for food.

Those living in Detriot have particularly long fasts, starting at 4:26 in the morning and ending at 9:10 p.m.

In the mountains of Lancaster, New Hampshire, as crowds roam the grounds of Roger's Campground, a bearded figure in overalls and cowboy hat leans over an assemblage of cookware, preparing a meal that will be served, at no charge, to the masses gathered for a week long celebration of liberty.
